Simple Woman ...

On one of my forays into blog-land, I found this Simple Woman's Daybook, and thought ... what a neat idea.Now, I know me, and will probably not be following this up in any way, but as the day winds down, the teen-age rose-garden (the neurosis variety, due to exams and end-of-term) being quieted for the day, I thought ... hmm ... why not do it. So I will.

Outside my window...It is dark now. It is - after all - fairly late in the evening. But days will get longer for another month still.

I am thinking...No big thoughts, but loads of smaller ones. As term winds down, my brain is freed from paid work, and ideas start bubbling.

I am thankful for...My health.

From the kitchen...Made meatballs (the Danish variety : Frikadeller) with new potatoes and a tomato-salad tonight.

I am wearing...Jeans and a t-shirt. Bare feet in flat leather sandals.

I am creating...Blocks for two quilts. One is the Brackman Sampler, one is my own pattern.

I am going...To bed soon.

I am reading..."Made to Stick" (again) by Chip and Dan Heath.

I am hoping...That kiddies' exams go well this next month.

I am hearing...The quieting sounds of a city, slowly falling asleep (mostly), and the purring of a cat.

Around the house...Hubby coughing with a late-spring / early summer cold. DD playing the piano. DS playing a violent computer-game to celebrate a well finished exam today. Cat draped across my shoulders, the both of us enjoying each other's company.

One of my favorite things...Quiet.

A few plans for the rest of the week:Get going on two writing projects. A scholarly one and a pattern.
